On Saturday, June 26, 2010, RJ Harris attended four events: the Sooner Republican Assembly Meeting, the State GOP’s “Spotlight on the Candidates”, the Glen Beck Block Party put on by the Sooner Tea Party, and the Cleveland County Republican Women’s Club “Ice Cream Social”. Harris was received with great enthusiasm at all four events on Saturday. Harris said “I was enthused and humbled to see so many patriotic citizens show up to the events this past Saturday. Our fight to take back our country has never looked so promising.”

The Sooner Republican Assembly made their endorsements for state wide Republican candidates. RJ Harris received the endorsement with over 80% of the vote. You can view these results and the Sooner Republican Assembly’s summary of the meetings activities here http://soonergop.blogspot.com. In addition to winning the groups endorsement, “two resolutions were proposed, both of which passed unanimously. The first condemned the recent decision to ban 4th District Congressional candidate R.J. Harris from future Cleveland County Republican Party events. The second was a motion of no confidence in the county's GOP chair and vice chair.” - Sooner Republican Assembly (http://soonergop.blogspot.com/)

One of the highlights of the day’s activities occurred when, Wanda, a lovely lady and GOP activist attending the State GOP “Spotlight on the Candidates” event, asked RJ the most important question a candidate can answer: “why are you running against our incumbent republican?”

Harris responded stating: “this particular incumbent republican [Cole] has voted for bailouts, voted for the Nancy Pelosi Stimulus Package, and he voted to fund Planned Parenthood. No republican that has ever voted for these things should be sent back to Washington to represent the conservative constituents of Oklahoma. This is why you shouldn’t vote for my opponent, but the reason you should vote for me is because I will fight for our individual liberty and our state’s sovereignty. I would never vote for the dozens of liberal and unconstitutional pieces of legislation that my opponent has.”

Congressional Candidate RJ Harris’ schedule this Saturday includes a variety of events likely to build upon the growing momentum of his campaign. Since the June 9 candidate filing deadline and increased focus of voters on the election, the campaign calendar has begun to fill.

“Voters recognize my name when announced at events,” notes Harris, “And their reactions are notably positive.” Campaign staff report a steady increase in the number of campaign volunteers in the past few weeks.

With this Saturday’s slate of events, Harris will have the opportunity to get his name and message in front of even more Fourth District voters. The day starts with an 8:00am speech at the Sooner Republican Assembly’s Endorsing Convention in Moore. This event is followed by the Oklahoma State GOP “Spotlight on the Candidates” event in Oklahoma City (speaking times to be determined).

Sooner Tea Party and Oklahoma Conservative Alliance have invited a number of candidates who they’re supporting to speak at the “Take Back America Block Party” event in front of the Ford Center. The list of speakers includes Gubernatorial Candidate State Senator Randy Brogdon and State Representative Charles Key. RJ Harris is scheduled to speak at this event at 1:03pm. Harris’ day concludes in his hometown of Norman at an Ice Cream Social at 5:00pm in Brookhaven Park.

Each event’s details are available on the “Events” page of the candidate’s website and on his Facebook page.
